Zane Grey (1872-1939) was one of the most popular authors of western fiction ever, and 60 years after his death many of his 78 books, such as Riders of the Purple Sage, are still in print. In the silent era Hollywood filmed many of his stories with stars such as Tom Mix and Jack Holt. Grey knew the west well, particularly the deserts of Arizona and Utah, and demanded accurate locations for the films. Later, however, many of these films were remade, sometimes two or three times, without Grey's involvement, and the relation between novels and films grew much looser. The films are quintessential B-moveis: black and white, just over an hour, featuring minor stars and formulaic plots with some music and comedy thrown in. Committed fans of the western genre will not be disappointed, and others will derive pleasure from the delightful Jane Greer in Sunset Pass and Tim Holt, son of Jack, in the other three films. The location shooting, mostly in the Lone Pine area of California, has an authentic feel. Titles are: Under the Tonto Rim (1947); Thunder Mountain (1947); Sunset Pass (1946); Wild Horse Mesa(1947). On the DVD: This box set contains two DVDs, each of which include two movies deriving from Zane Grey novels. Print quality and sound is generally acceptable, though Under the Tonto Rim has poor definition and is a bit scratchy. Aspect ratio is 14:9. The DVDs contain no extras of any kind. --Ed Buscombe

An outstanding release!!!!!! ""She"" - a unique event on the worldwide scale!!!! This fantastic release is a must have for all fans of the best quality progressive/rock music!!!! Caamora represents the partnership of Clive Nolan (Pendragon Arena) and Agnieszka Swita in a lavish and creative collaboration. The musical version of 'She' is based on the classic novel of the same name by Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. Clive first encountered this story 25 years ago when he saw a film version at the cinema as a child. It has always been his intention to set this story to music but it was not until he met Agnieszka that it did seem to be the right time. With Agnieszka's encouragement Clive decided to begin this epic composition. Over the following months Clive furiously set to writing material and Agnieszka traveled regularly from Poland to England to record demos. Gradually the material piled up until they had over two hours of songs and music. The culmination of the last two year's work with Caamora took place on 31st October 2007 at the Wyspianski Theatre Katowice Poland. Spearheaded by Clive Nolan and Agnieszka Swita this epic production featured also guest musicians: Alan Reed (Pallas/Neo) & Christina Booth (Magenta) on vocals bassist John Jowitt (IQ Neo) Mark Westwood (Neo) & Martin Bowen on the guitars Richard West (Threshold) & Steve Williams on the keyboards as also Scott Higham on the drums. The musical landscape of 'She' is wide and varied: from the close intimate sounds of voice and piano through to the exhilaration and power of orchestra and choir the music is intense and colourful. Clive Nolan: ""For me the blending of orchestra and rock band was one of the biggest challenges. I did not want these to be two separate entities stuck together (as is often the case with 'band and orchestra' albums) but one enormous blended sound."" Stylistically ""She"" has elements of heavy rock and moments of pure opera - sometimes simple sometimes complex; this is a rock opera that will stand the test of time.
